<p></p><p><span style="line-height: 1.5;">If you walk through the halls of the Kalamazoo Institute of Arts, there’s one exhibit you probably won’t see. It’s called the “Touch Art Exhibit”, with sculptures for those who are blind to drape their hands over, feel, and see in their mind. In one corner you’ll find Inuit-like carvings, made by Paul </span>Ponchillia<span style="line-height: 1.5;">, a former academic who only started making these after he went blind decades ago. The sculptures here are only the latest stop in </span>Ponchillia’s<span style="line-height: 1.5;"> journey from biologist to researcher to stone carver.&nbsp;</span></p><p></p><p>Fri, 20 Mar 2015 23:08:00 +0000Robbie Feinberg20630 at http://wmuk.orgHow Paul Ponchillia Overcame Blindness And Became A Stone Carver
